AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO ON THE LIFE OF VAN GOGH, MAKE AN INSIGHT PAPER.

Vincent van Gogh is one of the most well-known and influential artists in the western tradition. A
sociological analysis of his creative practice, therefore, not only illuminates particularly consequential
interventions in the history of art, with its knock-on effects for cultural consumption, but affords an
opportunity for deepening our understanding of cultural production per se. At stake, I argue, is a
fundamental artistic disposition in this case, an aesthetic orientation toward nature and sentiment
persisting through, if not underpinning, changes of style. This article reconstructs the myriad forces
involved in the genesis of this disposition in van Gogh’s early years. It draws upon the conceptual tools
of Pierre Bourdieu to do so, but goes beyond them by stressing the importance of familial heritage and
‘second order’ field effects in shaping the young van Gogh’s aesthetic sympathies, long before he briefly
entered the French artistic field in his final year of life.

WHY ARE FILIPINOS KNOWN FOR BEING A COLLECTIVISTIC CULTURE? DO YOU PERSONALLY AGREE THAT
YOU ARE A COLLECTIVIST? IF NOT,SHARE A CONCRETE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHY YOU THINK THAT
YOUR ORIENTATION IS ON INDIVIDUALISM NOT ON COLLECTIVISM.

Because Filipinos put family first at the top of their priorities than anything else, sometimes sacrificing
even their own happiness. And yes I personally agree that I am a collectivist.

1. DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE OLD ADAGE, “BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER?”WHY OR
WHY NOT?
Yes, because I believe that beauty is subjective. What is beautiful to one observer may not be so
to another.
2. HOW IMPORTANT IS “PHYSICAL BEAUTY” FOR YOU?
Physical trait improves attitude, personality, and self-esteem. Likewise, improving physical
attractiveness improves interpersonal interactions.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE OLD MAXIM “LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?” WHY OR WHY NOT?
No, love is a huge emotion; it is developed over the years when you spent countless hours with the
other person, so it is impossible that you can love someone at first sight. For me, “Infatuation at
first sight” is the right term.

“ YOU POLITICALLY AWARE AND INVOLVED?”

WRITE A ESSAY ON WHAT PERCEIVED/THINK, FEEL AND ACT ABOUT THE SCENARIO THAT YOU HAVE
WITNESSED

For example, the political problem is about corruption, I will remember all the politicians who are

should always be aware and conscious about political issues.

“THINK AND SHARE”

a.) HOW WAS SMITH SENSE OF IDENTITY INFLUENCED BY ONLINE INTERACTION?

Smith’s sense of identity is weak for the reason that she took the advice of the anonymous
person, and she didn’t even think about whether it is right or wrong.

Smith had a lack of sense of identity. She took the anonymous person advice seriously.
c.) IF YOU WERE THAT ANONYMOUS COMMENTER, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ADVICE TO SMITH
WHO WAS NOT YOUR FRIEND BUT HAD JUST READ HER POST SHARING HER ANXIETY ONLINE?
If I were that anonymous person, I would tell her that there are many people who love her and
always be there for her. I would also advice her to always pray and surrender all his problems to
God. Furthermore, I would advice her to get help from psychological experts.

CHOOSE ONLY ONE PERSON WHOM YOU ADMIRE MOST AND WRITE A ONE PAGE PAPER SHOWING

scored an average of 99 in mathematics. There is also time that he corrected our math teacher about
